Yeah, it's gotta be Sammy. For comparison's sake, let's look at Vanecek vs Sammy since Sammy's first start back after his COVID absence (03/07/21):
Samsonov: 8 GP, .920sv%, 2.17 GAA, 1.99 GSAA, .857 HDSV%, .81 HDGAA, 16 GA.
Vanecek: 6 GP, .897sv%, 2.86 GAA, -1.99 GSAA, .825 HDSV%, 1.25 HDGAA, 16 GA.
Samsonov has been looking fantastic lately. Sunday's game against the NYR, he was really solid in the first two periods, and then the Caps pretty much collapsed in the third (and still managed to win). After last night, I'd expect Samsonov to get the lion's share of the starts unless he starts struggling.
